Assisted Learning Through Robotics

The reason I earlier shared FileMaker's webinar in the Using FileMaker for Research User Group, is that the very interesting seminar looked very usable for research, and that BonnieWalker seemed receptive to university and other educational partnership for the project.

Future of work:  Assisted Learning Through Robotics and a Workplace Innovation Platform
